Chapter 15
Obierika, Okonkwo's friend from his homeland, continues his farm by selling Okonkwo's yams and giving some to share croppers. This is a way for Okonkwo to get money. Obierika plans to do this until Okonkwo returns from his exile. This shows that Okonkwo still has friends in his homeland despite the terrible crime he committed. Obierika brings Okonkwo the news of the white men who are showing up in villages. I think that the white men might have something to do with Okonkwo's tragic ending in the book. I think that he will lose his temper with one of them and hurt the white man. I also think that Nwoye might be feeling more resentment towards his father so he might be looking for something to make his father upset. I think that after Okonkwo took part in the death of Ikemefuna and their exile from the community, Nwoye is upset with him. I don't think that Okonkwo will do anything extreme at first to the white men because he seems reasonable when it comes to war, but I don't think he will accept their proposals. I think that they might be missionaries, and I can't see Okonkwo switching to christianity.

This really showed what type of guy obierika is. i wish i had a friend like that. working the farm himself, man that is dedication. the white men are gonna kill everyone though, it seems like that anyway, so it doesnt really matter.
Obierika does really help Okonkwo during the exile period. You have to wonder what a guy like Obierika sees in Okonkwo though? It's amazing OKonkwo has any friends.
The PROPHET ALAINA WROTE:
1) "I think that he will lose his temper with one of them and hurt the white man."
I see you've called this one!!!
2) "I also think that Nwoye might be feeling more resentment towards his father so he might be looking for something to make his father upset."
Again, you are right!
3) "I can't see Okonkwo switching to christianity."
Great predictions!!!
